RAIN AND WET ROCK The sandstone in Red Rocks is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. MORE INFO >>>

Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN RED ROCKS during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp (and not powdery dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby. ***** HUMAN WASTE ***** Human waste is one of the major issues plaguing Red Rocks. The Las Vegas Climbers Liaison Council identified this problem years ago and has worked to provide "wag bags" free of charge in several locations (Black Velvet, First Pullout, Kraft Mtn/Bouldering, The Gallery, and The Black Corridor). These bags are designed so that you can pack your waste out - consider bringing one to be part of your kit (just like your rope and shoes and lunch) no matter where you go. Once used, please dispose of them properly (do not throw them in the toilets at the parking areas). This project was funded primarily by the American Alpine Club

Description

The Hidden Wall sits at the top of the south fork of Ice Box canyon. The wall is Guarded by one of the biggest approachs in all of Red Rock. The approach from the Icebox trail head is reported to involve multiple 5th class sections and serious route finding. Facing north east the wall see's very little sun. There is currently only one reported route. The descent is to descend Ice box, however hiking to the Rocky Gap road may be more desirable.

Getting There

Approach by climbing the south fork of Ice Box canyon. The approach will take several hours.

Here's the basic description, I'll add a comment that will clear up some things and provide some additional beta, please read it!Pitch 1: Start up the left facing corner system, there are a couple of ways to do this. Continue up the obvious crack and corner system aiming for the first big bush covered ledge and belay. 215ft, 5.10.Pitch 2: Climb off the left side of the ledge up towards a slightly lower angle bushy area. Avoid most of the bushes by climbing on the right. Step back left through th...[more]Browse More Classics in NV

And "Blitzkreig" goes up the center of that? From the grandstand up through the central water stains? Looks like a five-star adventure .... To do that route in a day would require a true Red Rock master!

Maybe some of the LV Mountaineers routes around Bridge would provide a better descent than Icebox?
